bedlamsbardOh, that's what it's like to just write, without any silly things like classes or reading or homework or papers to do in the meantime.
*pets Dust* I'd wanted to put a Peter POV in between the Jill POV and the Tirian POV (Tirian makes a very good narrator, what can I say? Eustace just wouldn't have done the trick here), but I already dropped too much background info in this Tirian POV; covering the same ground with a Peter POV would be pointless, and I like the Tirian POV here, I don't want to rewrite it. Although I kind of sincerely regret the fact that we may not see some of the more homey aspects of Cair Paravel, along with the usual ridiculous amounts of Peter/Susan subtext. (It was subtext! Really! I wrote the beginning of the chapter and realized there wasn't much chance of anything actually happening in the chapter that couldn't be equally well-served occurring off-screen. Yes, I am still bitter about this part. And wondering where I could have dropped more hints about the Black Fleet; most of that occurred in cut scenes and the lack thereof was never quite made up.)
(Today, in subtext-land: Peter and Susan wake up in bed together, naked. No worries here, this is how Dust 5 started out too!)
(...okay, possibly I recycle myself sometimes, but this would have been different! It would have been a Peter POV! Dear god, will Peter ever get another POV? That is the question, truly.)
Random fact: priest holes in Narnia are called Caspian holes, because there's an old story that Caspian hid in a secret room while Miraz was searching the old Telmarine castle for him.
In other news, Tirian is such a nerd.
Meanwhile, Cair Paravel continues to resemble New Orleans: now we have hurricanes and flooding. I can't tell if Natural Disasters made that much of an impression on me or if I just miss the city. (Which I do. It's freezing here -- we are still burning fires at night -- and there's nothing to do! Except write. Which, okay, I'd be doing even if I was back in New Orleans, but still, it's the principle of the thing.)
